| Regretably, after six years, Co. K of the 3rd ID is no longer an organised unit. Although some groups still portray the 3rd, Co. K is no more. This page is going to be left active as a portal to other reenacting units , so interested parties may have a point of contact. Thanks for dropping by and keeping us company all these years. |
One of the oldest military organizations in the United States, the 3rd Infantry Division has participated in almost every major conflict our Country has been involved in. During World War One, the Division earned the nickname "The Rock of the Marne" for it's outstanding performance in one of the pivotal campaigns of the war.
In World War Two, the Division fought from the North African landings in 1942, and into Tunisia. Taking part in the amphibious landings in Sicily, they crossed over into mainland Italy, and experienced hard fighting up the peninsula.
The Third took part in the Anzio landings in February 1944. After the fall of Rome four months later, the Division was withdrawn from Italy, and landed in Southern France to create the "hammer" to the "anvil" of the armies that landed in Normandy.
The "Rock" fought it's way into Germany, and at the end of the War was one of the few American Divisions to have been in combat continuously from the start to the end of the American involvement, and still end up in Germany at the finish.

The most decorated soldier of the war, Lt. Audie L. Murphy, was a Second Lieutenant of the 15th Regiment, and earned 33 awards and decorations, including this Countries highest honor, The Medal of Honor, for bravery on the battlefield. |
